Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Sharad Sharma announced on Thursday that the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya has received substantial donations, with devotees from across the country showing their dedication to Lord Ram.
“Devotees are demonstrating their deep devotion towards Lord Ram by donating money, gold, and silver. Their sentiments are pure and sacred,” Sharma stated.
He emphasized that the financial prosperity of the Ram Mandir is ensured by the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi. “Ram Lalla is seated there. Ram, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, was accompanied by Goddess Lakshmi. She would never allow any financial instability at the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. The temple’s magnificence will always be upheld,” Sharma asserted.
Sharma further highlighted the diverse modes through which devotees are contributing. “Everyone who visits donates something. We consider those who donate at the Ram Mandir very fortunate. Some offer grains, others contribute clothes and money. Within just 2-3 days, devotees have donated crores of rupees. The online donations will be tallied by the banks, although the exact figures are yet to be disclosed. Physical donations can be estimated.”
Despite the cold and fog, devotees continued to flock to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple for darshan of Ram Lalla, three days after the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony. The ceremony, held on Monday, saw the unveiling of the Ram Lalla idol in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and approximately 8,000 invitees, including eminent guests.
The grandeur of the event also caught global attention, with Ayodhya illuminated by earthen lamps and fireworks lighting up the night sky, showcasing the vibrant spirit of ‘Ram Nagri’ to the world.
